The information that is taught here is basic common knowledge that a five minute youtube video could teach you. I enjoyed the style and categorization of video lectures, moveover the instructor is easy to learn from and quite an entertaining fellow. On the other hand, like many courses on this site it suffers from anonomous 'peer-reviews' which can be very frustrating. I like to work at a quick pace, however I could not work how I wanted because peer feedback is required to build on your assignments. If I could make a suggestion to the course moderators I would say " Please increase the required amount of reviews you need to complete from three to at least five, because there are not enough willing people to review work. I had to post on the forms in order to recieve a grade on time" Over all this course left me with a bad taste in my mouth I am not sure if I will continue into the specialization if it will continue to be this frustrating.

This course Introduction to Game Design taught me how to think while building a game. I am now able to look at other games and see how they incorporated a variety of ideas, players, story-telling etc. I give this course 3 stars due to the peer-reviews. If you go through the other ratings multiple people complain of students putting one worded responses and not giving real feedback. I was fortunate enough to have 60% of the time useful feedback and the other 40% of the reviewers not giving feedback. There wasn't much I could do about that, but when I reviewed work that was clearly ineligible or filled out with gibberish I reported them. I suggest other students to do the same and hopefully those of us who are serious about the course are able to review other students hard work. Enjoy the course and this insightful review!

This is a great course due to the well designed and produced videos, peer feedback feature and structure of the course. However, I feel that the lack of input from CALARTS is the drawback. I have been in other courses in Coursera and have found the input from tutors really reassuring because I am getting expert feedback. If courses like this are to be continuously supported by Coursera clients/students, this kind of feedback is critical. If certificates achieved through Coursera are known to be only peer reviewed, such certificates will not carry weight and be recognised by other organisations/employers.

The course is fun and a very intresting approach to game design throug board game design. You get good tips for designing games and the different and important things to know. Though I think it could go deeper into some topics and explain a little more beyond just giving examples, videos are good but a little short, each week is roughly 20 minutes long each. Even though I really liked it and got the best of it .

Although a neat idea, I was a little disappointing to find that over the course of 4 weeks we'd only be creating and adding to a small paper game. I was hoping for something a little more in depth. And although I don't disagree that this course provided some wonderful input to creating a game, I felt that it was something that could have been done in a single lesson.

This one was a bit of a disappointment - largely because it was included in a larger specialization. If this course had been branded for kids and teens and left out of that specialization, my rating would be higher, but it felt awkward and inappropriate for adult audiences.

While I do appreciate the effort of the content creators, this course feels too simplistic. On top of that it seems that most of the "classmates" put minimum effort and when I have to grade assignments as part of my coursework, it felt more like a chore than a contribution.
